Circle B

I went to see Othello and it was almost three hours long!

Circle B was a fun experience for me because ever since I was little I have loved the outdoors. Then it was our chance to take time in a class to go outside and begin to regain a connection with the world around us and it pretty much lifted my spirits. That week I had hit a spiritual plateau and was unable to break through into the presence of God the same way as I was a week earlier and that started affecting the way that I lived and the way I treated those around me. It was beginning to be unpleasant and I could tell. Then after Circle B I saw what I had been missing and it was a grasp on what God looked like. I had been so focused on changing who I was to become a better man that I slowly began to lose focus of who God was and focused more on who I was. Then my life became one categorized by pride, bitterness, and quick degrading remarks. The moment that we stepped into the tram and were transported away from the world that had become to influence me I felt like I was able to get closer to God. To be completely honest the reading of the text had little if any impact on me the entre trip. I actually got more out of the quiet time we had to enjoy the picture God painted for us and the opportunity to help free the ground of an invasive species. The coolest thing ws the bald eagle we got to see because it embodies so much power and at the same time has a sense of tenderness for its young. Then the rising up like eagles comes to mind and i can see how it shows that God will not only empower us but take care of and protect us, because he said He will rise us up on wings like eagles, not give us wings of eagles.
